[Q] Rooting Problem

Hello guys!
I wanted to root my Nexus 4 today, and started to do all the steps. I downloaded all the drivers and setupped them.
Then I unlocked the phone by using this command on the correct folder in cmd "adb reboot bootloader".
It was succesfull. Then I did this step by writing this on cmd "fastboot oem unlock". I was succesfull too n there
was no problem. Then I setupped twrp recovery mode v2.6.0.0. But I didn't send the files of SuperSU to the phone. I tried to reboot my phone while it was connected to my pc with usb,the google icon appeared first, then the X icon of nexus appeared. After this, a screen showed up on my pc which says "the drivers are being setupped" but then it showed that it couldnt setup the drivers. Phone stucked here and cannot be started. There is only the X image of nexus but I cant start the phone. I can use recovery mode and bootloader only. So now can u please tell me what I did wrong and what should I do now to start my phone.
By the way I also tried to backup but it failed too.
Thanks, and waiting for your valuable answers.

Have you tried a factory reset from recovery?

Thanks for the answer. But if I factory reset, I will not be able to setup any roms cuz I cant connect to my phone from my pc with usb.
So if I factory reset, will I have to setup any roms to my phone ? Also I cant connect to my phone from my pc in recovery mode.

I did a factory reset. And my phone is working now. Thanks for everything. Çükünü yiyim abiii

I would recommend starting everything fresh. Follow this guide to revert to stock, then follow the root steps also in the same post.
Edit: Oops, posted too late. Glad you have it sorted out

Once you factory reset your phone, the lock will be removed by default. If still your phone is in lock screen, try factory resetting your phone from the recovery mode.
Steps :
1) Power on your phone. Press and hold volume up+volume down button for 10 sec while your device switches on.
2) In the recovery mode, choose factory reset and follow the instructions.
Now your device will be completely factory retested and no more lock.

factory reset dont works for me.. i did it 4 times ..
aroma file manager needs root and a custom recovery to be installed first.. but i cant even do that becouse i dont have usb debugging.
any other idea guys?

nobody? comeon guys i nees help

Solution: 50% when unlocking bootloader

EDIT: SOLUTION (Not a fix)
For those who are stuck at "50% saying current account is different from the a/c info of device"
It is due to the database miss-match in their server ,the possible sollution are :
Remember: for MediaTek devices you will have to first flash a China Dev ROM onlu then you can get the unlock successful.
But this is not a recommendation for Qualcomm Devices.
1. Go to i.mi.com and look weather your device shows up in the find device (this is required only to be sure as to your device is connected to their server and they have updated the info on your Device too).
2. Reset your Phone sign in and turn on find device. turn on usb debug and oem unlock connect to pc allow whatever is asked on your phone also check always trust, then open adb folder and open cmd there and type adb devices your phone will ask for authorisation allow it and check always trust.
3. Mail your concern with user ID and also the snapshot of the error as they will ask for it,to your regional service (I am an indian so i had to mail it at [email protected])(just google contact xiaomi) wait for their reply.
You can PM these persons on MIUI forum regarding the 50% stuck issue.
{ EDIT 2:
You may contact these person in MIUI forum:
1) vincent_khoo
2) PatrickXi
( @bravonova gave me these names you may try I haven't cross checked as mailing will most probably solve) }
The last method should Work for everyone as it's a db miss-match which should be fixed after this.
PS: This a solution and not a fix so it will take time.
PPS: Don't blame me for all the trouble Blame Xiaomi.

Ok, so I have been trying to move to miui 8 global beta version now for a long time and haven't succeeded, the updater app says could not verify update package.
I have a pretty good net connection so that's not an issue.
Also If I try download latest rom it says "Can't download update, wait a minute or two" and this it has been saying for about a week now (ironic).
So, I requested for unlocking the bootloader got the confirmation messages after 3 days tried to unlock now stuck at 50% saying "account is different from the account in the phone info"
I don't want to use the fast boot edl method of flashing rom as my lappy keeps getting sudden shutdown, so I don't want it to shutdown in between and get hard bricked.
I have tried MiPc suit but since it cannot do a backup(again app bug) so cannot flash through it.
I have looked in to the mi cloud and my phone does gets located.(possible solution given for unlock bootloader but even that didn't work).
Can anyone please help me on this or will I have to be on this ****ty unrooted Rom forever.
Currently on miui 7.5.3.0 global stable rom.
Any suggestions will be appreciated ty

I unlocked it just today!make sure all drivers are installed..boot into fastboot mode :- power off then hold vol down + power button.w8 for the drivers to get installed
Now boot into recovery mode :- turn off device and hold volume up + power button.w8 for the drivers to get installed.
I was stuck at the same 50% error..one of d xda member told me to boot into recovery mode and let the drivers get installed and taddaa...bootloader unlocked
Make sure u r logged in to the same account in ur phone u r using to unlock the bootloader

I fixed this by updating to latest version in miui app in fastboot mode.

Same problem for me. I tried using the MIUI PC Suite, it tells me my phone isnt up to date even though it is. Recovery mode drivers fail. Requested unlock over 2 weeks ago and got the SMS 9 day ago... still stuck at 50% error. Its driving me nuts.

First of all thanks for the reply sir but
I tried entering to recovery mode and then connect to pc but nothing happens, I mean it does not show connected even after say 5 minutes.
Although when trying to enter into the fastboot mode and then connecting to pc the drivers do get install and it shows connected and stucks at 50%
I do have adb drivers RN3 USB drivers installed on my pc
But all things in vain.

I am sorry sir but I didn't get you, you updated to latest version of miui through the updater app right? And then entered to fastboot mode to unlock right?
My updater app also doesn't work It says cannot verify update package and so I am stuck like from all corners.

connect your device to your pc and let the drivers get installed...and if u are using a desktop pc do not use the usb port which is at the front of the cpu..use the one which are at the back of the cpu...the image i am attaching shows which drivers get installed.
after drivers get installed remove usb cable and again boot into fastboot mode (power + volume down ) and try again to unlock bootloader

Okay, so i am missing drivers i guess.
Have you pre installed any drivers if so can you provide me a link?
as when i connect into recovery mode only the bootloader interface driver get install and nothing else and hence it still doesn't show connected in the recovery mode.

how to flash kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000 .23_5.1_global_f5889c1549.?
when i connect my device in recovery mode nothing happens

For Kenzo / SD / Snapdragon only.
1. Install Mi PC Suite, plug your phone in and install the app on the phone when it prompts (then close mi pc suite) - this provides all the drivers needed for the next step
http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html < Mi PC Suite
2. reboot the phone to recovery mode ( Vol UP + Power ), let drivers install on pc - wait, then reboot again to fastboot mode (VOL Down + Power) let drivers install on pc - wait - it might take a few minutes to install the drivers don't unplug the phone during this time.
3. download and install the unlock tool - log into your account, after it checks you have permission press unlock
http://en.miui.com/unlock/ < unlock tool
----------------------------
(if it still fails proceed to next step)
4. use xiao mi flash beta and install the latest kenzo global fast boot image (I have heard some people needed to use the Chinese dev firmware- the global stable worked for me though), use the clean all option selected at the bottom of mi flash. (this will erase ALL data on the phone)- backup before doing this.
http://en.miui.com/thread-281979-1-1.html <- xiao mi flash beta
5. let phone boot up first time, log into the mi account on the phone with your email / password, if your phone number doesn't work then select option to log in with email / password.
6. reboot to fastboot again and press unlock it should proceed now

it must install the drivers...please do check out the steps mentioned above by the xda member "otyj" he helped me to unlock my bootloader

I had the same problem and believe me I did everything possible as you are also advised in this forum.
But it had nothing to do with this.
Just wait and watch.. try everyday once and I think you will get in 7-10 more days.
I was also frustated at that time but now I can unlock everysingle time I want when it gets locked.

New Update, but OTA not working- installation fails

Hi there,
about a month ago I tried to get the google camera on my xiaomi mi a1.
I followed the instructions and failed big. :silly:
At some point it got stuck and I allowed TWRP something I shouldn't have.
Then I tried everything to get the phone in the state like I never tried to install the camera, closing the bootloader for good, etc.
I thought it worked. The massage while booting dissapeared, but today I came across the april-update.
The installation fails while performing step 1 of 2.
What can I do? What SHOULD I do?
Thanks in advance.

anyone?

You have to reflash stock rom with Miflash tool . Choose save user data option if you want to save your data. Be careful you have to unlock the bootloader first. Good luck

1)Download and extract stock ROM from MI forum on PC
http://en.miui.com/getrom-333.html?m=yes&mobile=2
2)Download Mi flash beta tool on PC
https://goo.gl/sRX3yu
3) boot your phone into fastboot mode by pressing vol down + power ( Make sure you removed all your security passwords on phone )
4) connect your phone to PC
5) open MI flash beta tool ( you will find your device in it)
6) now at the top of the tool you will be asked to provide the path of the stock ROM you downloaded. Copy and paste the same. ( Make sure there is no space in the folders name.)
7) before flashing, make sure you've selected 'save user data's at the bottom of the MI FLASH TOOL.
8) Then click flash and process will carry on.
9) once it's done it will appear 'Success' on the screen.
10) Remove the phone and have fun.

And you really pressed the volume up button and then connect it to the PC?
When coming from a custom rom it's highly recommended to wipe system, data, cache and format internal storage too.

yup, i'm positive im pressing the volume button, been tried with 2 different laptop, same.
